Looking for something to do?

Want to do something different and absolutely cool this summer? How about adding in a huge helping of science-filled fun? Summer Science Camps at the Science Center are an adventure for kids ages 4 - 14!

Investigate science careers, experiment with roller coasters, build a bridge, and more with Carnegie Science Center's Summer Science Camps! You'll enjoy a full week of themed activities (we have TONS of camps to choose from), hundreds of hands-on exhibits (and Highmark SportsWorks®), an Omnimax film, a summer camp T-shirt, interaction with dozens of science education professionals, and even field trips for some camps!
